In this episode of The Still Waters Podcast, Teri and Rudy delve into the often conflated concepts of resolutions and goals, clarifying the distinctions between them. A resolution is characterized as a promise to oneself without a specific timeframe, while a goal has a defined outcome and timeframe, requiring a structured plan. The discussion explores the emotional and psychological responses to goal-setting, how to approach clients struggling with this process, and the importance of writing and visualizing goals for increased success. The hosts also share strategies to combat procrastination and emphasize the need for accountability. Practical advice is offered, such as starting with small steps and being flexible with goals as circumstances change. The episode concludes with a reminder that seeking external help and pushing past fear are crucial steps in achieving one's aspirations.
